Aurora St. Luke's Heart Care Second Opinion Program

A quicker recovery. A less painful alternative. A second opinion may give you these options.

No heart procedure is routine. Whatever treatment you're considering, a second opinion can ease your worries and answer your questions. Best of all, you may have a less invasive, less painful, non-surgical alternative, one that could have you looking and feeling better sooner. A second opinion from Wisconsin's most comprehensive heart care program can give you peace of mind.

Your doctor will understand

Seeking a second opinion doesn't mean you don't trust your doctor. Your doctor will understand your need to be sure.

Doctors expect their patients to seek other opinions. Don't worry about hurting the doctor's feelings when you request one.
